    My son loves Minecraft, so in the hopes of sneaking in some education, I ordered this for him. The set up is pretty typical, just create an account and off you go. While you could probably search for similar lessons on YouTube or elsewhere, its nice to have them in one place, especially when its for a 9 year old who learns better when everything is given in a seamless order. Its definitely holding his attention, as hes gone back to it repeatedly over his holiday break!

    I got this for my son who is an intermediate player of Minecraft. He appreciated the various tips and tricks he learned during the play of this program. It takes you through some useful builds that he has then applied to his Minecraft play. Overall he has seemed to benefit from the practice at coding. Great STEM program for kids who are into Minecraft!

    I thought this was a great idea and could work well. I do networking as a profession and never got into coding which I really wanted to. I could never find the time so I tried this to get started. The only thing is it did not keep my interested long enough to stick with it. If I have time, I may take this up again in the future.

    Minecraft command blocks are sources of unlimited power or control depending on the code behind them. Video tutorial style seems to fit what kids are used to with YouTube. I wouldnt ask my 13 yo to go figure it out, I would stay available to help unstuck him when he overlooks an error.

    TLDR; 100% online course; requires creating accounts, seems easy enough to follow for my 10yr old kid

    Since this was a gift for my nephew, I asked him to write a review, from a users point of view. The following review is from my 10 year old nephew - indirectly quoted (edited for grammer and clarity):

    Our 13yo son lives and breathes Minecraft and we thought this would be a fun way to convert his playtime into learning time. Clear instructions. Im a software engineer by training and this is a nice intro to coding.

    I got this for my son because he likes both Minecraft and coding. What I did not know is that this is based on Minecraft Java Edition, which my son does not have. So now he cant even use this until he gets Minecraft Java Edition. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time, so I could have set up to have that as well.

    Although the webpage suggested an actual course (book), the product delivered certainly was not what expected to give to my child.

    Unfortunately this has not held my sons attention like I hoped it would. He absolutely adores Minecraft and is really wanting to learn how to do more with it, so I was really hoping this would draw him in. Unfortunately the classes arent really great. They feel more like a Udemy course aimed at a much older audience than what the description provides, which, especially for the price, is the biggest drawback. The team could take some lessons from popular youtube personalities on how to draw kids in and keep them engaged.
